| Flavonoid glycoside. Responsible for the bitterness of grapefruit. Naringin is a flavonoid glycoside predominantly found in citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges. It is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties. It is hydrolyzed in vivo to naringenin, which exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities and modulates signaling pathways (e.g., Nrf2 and NF-κB). In preclinical cancer models, naringin/naringenin is associated with cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and reduced invasion/metastasis, often linked to upstream modulation of survival pathways (PI3K/AKT) and stress MAPKs. Oral systemic exposure is limited due to metabolism and conjugation. -Antioxidant Activity -Induction of Apoptosis -Cell Cycle Arrest (often G1 or G2/M) -Anti-inflammatory Effects -**a natural bioenhancer(effects vary) and reported to enhance the bioavailability of drugs by inhibiting cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4 especially grape fruit juice) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Naringin/naringenin can inhibit CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, contributing to grapefruit–drug interactions and potentially increasing exposure of certain medications. -Usually paired with other bioflavonoids such as quercetin, hesperidin and rutin. -Mainly obtained from grapefruit -Including enhanced solubility, improved bioavailability and targeted delivery. -Antioxidant -Inhibition of CYP19(weak/modest). Naringin suppresses the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway -Wnt/β-catenin, PI3K/Akt, NF-ĸB, and TGF-β pathways -Up-regulation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and inhibition of gluconeogenesis -Antioxidant effects, by modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) -Naringenin can reduce carcinogenesis through pleiotropic processes such as antioxidative, apoptotic-inducing ROS generation, and cell cycle arrest -Revealed new mechanisms underlying the hypolipidemic effects of naringin and naringenin, including regulation of lipid digestion, reverse cholesterol transport, and low-density lipoprotein receptor expression -Low bioavailability (approximately 8.8%) when administered orally. Bioavailability: citrus flavonoid glycosides are hydrolyzed in the gut; systemic plasma levels are often much lower than in vitro MICs.

| Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a group of proteins involved in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, playing a crucial role in various cellular processes, including growth, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). MAPK Pathways: The MAPK family includes several pathways, the most notable being: 1.ERK (Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase): Often associated with cell proliferation and survival. 2.JNK (c-Jun N-terminal Kinase): Typically involved in stress responses and apoptosis. 3.p38 MAPK: Associated with inflammatory responses and apoptosis. Inhibitors: Targeting the MAPK pathway has become a strategy in cancer therapy. For example, BRAF inhibitors (like vemurafenib) are used in treating melanoma with BRAF mutations. Altered Expression Levels: Overexpression: Many cancers exhibit overexpression of MAPK pathway components, such as RAS, BRAF, and MEK. This overexpression can lead to increased signaling activity, promoting cell proliferation and survival. Downregulation: In some cases, negative regulators of the MAPK pathway (e.g., MAPK phosphatases) may be downregulated, leading to enhanced MAPK signaling. The expression levels of MAPK pathway components can serve as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. For example, high levels of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) may indicate active MAPK signaling and poor prognosis in certain cancers. Numerous reports indicate that the MAPK pathway plays a major role in tumor progression and invasion, while inhibition of MAPK signaling reduces invasion. |
